Jeep Grand Cherokee Recalled For Random Drive Power Losses
Stellantis is recalling nearly 92,000 plug-in hybrid Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe SUVs in the United States after National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulators flagged a software defect that could cause the vehicles to suddenly lose drive power.
Key Points
- Stellantis is recalling 91,787 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrids (2022–2026) due to a faulty battery pack control module that can cause sudden power loss.
- Affected owners can check their VINs on NHTSA’s recall site starting September 11, with official letters going out October 23.
- Stellantis says no crashes or injuries have been linked to the issue, and a free software fix is in development.
The recall captures 2022–2026 model-year Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrids built between July 23, 2021, and August 29, 2025. According to documents filed with NHTSA, a faulty battery pack control module (BPCM) is to blame. The microprocessor inside the module can become overloaded, triggering an unexpected reset. When that happens, the vehicle’s hybrid control processor may misinterpret the reset signal, cutting drive power entirely.
So far, Stellantis says it has not received any reports of crashes or injuries linked to the defect. Still, the risk of a sudden loss of propulsion poses an obvious safety concern, particularly at highway speeds.
Stellantis is aware of 96 customer assistance records, 110 field reports, and 320 other service records potentially relating to this issue for all markets with dates of receipt ranging from December 23, 2024, to August 8, 2025.
Jeep owners can begin checking whether their SUV is affected starting September 11 by entering their VIN on NHTSA’s recall website. Stellantis will begin mailing official notification letters on October 23, and the automaker says a permanent software fix is currently in development. Repairs will be performed free of charge once a solution is finalized.
